“I can tell who sent it without looking at it." Luca felt annoyed. Giving Enoch the cold shoulder was not working at
all. It seemed like she had to find a chance to make things clear with him.
"Is it the guy you went on a blind date with?" Tina understood at once. If Luca was not happy to receive flowers
from the man, that would only mean Luca was not interested in him.
Tina looked at how distressed Luca was. It looked like the man had yet to notice that Luca had no feelings for him.
Luca nodded and turned on her laptop. "I'm not planning to date anyone, let alone get married. So, I've been giving
him the cold shoulder after we had lunch last time. But it seems like he's not giving up yet."
Tina stroked her chin and made a suggestion. "If he's not planning to give up, then you should just be honest and
make it clear to him. If he continues to bother you, you can find someone else to put on a show with you. I've done
that before to get rid of a nuisance."
Luca knew only too well about these tricks. She thought Enoch should know better than the others considering he
was someone well-educated, and on top of that, he was even working in the provincial capital.
Now, it seemed like Luca had to turn him down personally.
Tina touched the roses, and she thought Luca seemed to not be interested in these flowers. She would throw them
into the trash eventually. Hence, Tina exclaimed, "It's such a pity for these champagnecolored roses. This guy who's
chasing after you must've spent quite a lot of money getting you such a big bouquet of champagne-colored roses.
Oh, what's his occupation? How can he be so generous?"
Luca replied, "He's a civil servant if I'm not mistaken. Forget about it. I remember you like flowers a lot. Why don't
you take the flowers and put them in the secretary's office? That's much better than having me throw them away."
Tina smiled and said, "Sure. Dr. Craw, how do you know I like flowers?"
"I noticed that you always have fresh flowers in your office. I'm allergic to flowers, especially this type of flower. So,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI'll give the bouquet to you. Thank you!" Luca found an excuse, picked up the flowers, and handed them to Tina.
Tina gladly took them from Luca and said, "Thank you. The flowers on my desk are about to wither."
"Don't mention it. I should thank you for helping me to get out of such a big trouble," replied Luca. Her head hurt
whenever she saw the bouquet. Besides, Luke might enter her office, and he would question her when he saw such
a big bouquet.
Luca did not want to lie to him. Hence, asking Tina to take the flowers away was a good idea.
Tina took the bouquet of roses away happily. She ran into Jason who had just come out of his office when she was
on her way back to her office.
"Tina, did you receive such a big bouquet? Is someone pursuing you?" Jason asked cheerfully. It was normal to have
such conversations with Tina after working together with her for so many years.
Tina shook her head and replied, “How I wish someone is chasing after me too. But this bouquet isn't for me.”
“Then who are the flowers for? I remember that you're the only single lady in the secretary's office.” Jason teased
her.
Tina rolled her eyes at Jason, looking adorable. “Mr. Doyle, all of us know you're happily married and you have a
happy family. But don't rub it in my face. Otherwise, I'm going to complain to Sue.”
“Fine. I'm sorry.” Jason surrendered immediately.
"The flowers were gifted by the guy Dr. Craw went on a blind date with, but she doesn't like them, so she gave them
to me. The champagne-colored roses are beautiful, and they smell nice too. So, I'm taking them back to arrange
them."
“They were for Dr. Craw?” Jason widened his eyes and glanced at Luke's office unconsciously.
Fortunately, Luke did not come out of his office.
Jason did not tell Luke about Luca going on a blind date last time. He had been keeping a close eye on Luca lately.
She did not look like she was going on dates after getting off work. Hence, he thought things had not worked out
between her and her blind date, so he decided to let the matter slide.
However, Jason did not expect the man to go as far as send flowers to Luca's office to chase after her.
Although Luke still had no idea about it, he would eventually find out about it if that man continued to pursue Luca.
If that happened, they were all going to be in deep trouble!
"Does Dr. Craw not like the bouquet or the guy?" Jason lowered his voice and asked.
Tina glanced at Jason out of the corners of her eyes. She instantly smiled and asked, “Mr. Doyle, when did you
become so nosy?”
If Tina did not know Jason was in love with Sue, she would have suspected Jason was interested in Luca. Otherwise,
why was he so interested in someone else's love life?
That was not something a man would be curious about.
As Jason listened to her making fun of him, he explained patiently, “I'm doing this for the sake of our happiness.”
“Huh?” Tina did not understand what he meant.
“Someone else is in love with Dr. Craw. I'm just helping him to enquire,” Jason explained patiently. Tina was usually
not slow when it came to these kinds of things. How could she not figure things out at this point?
After all, it was either Jason or Tina whom Luke would give orders to whenever it was something related to Luca.
More than the others, Tina should be more aware of what was going on.
Tina understood what Jason meant at once and said, “Don't worry. Dr. Craw isn't interested in him and the flowers.”
Jason let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Luca had no interest in that man. However, he could not let Luke know
about this. Then, he reminded Tina again, "Keep in mind that you shouldn't tell anyone that Luca gave the flowers
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
to you if you're asked about it.”
"Alright, alright." Tina held the flowers and returned to the secretary's office immediately.
As Jason watched Tina leave from behind, he shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, it was Tina who knew about
this. If it were someone else, they would not have been able to keep their mouth shut.
Jason glanced at Luke's office door. It was still firmly shut. He let out a sigh, secretly hoping that Luca could solve
this problem as soon as possible. That way, everyone would be able to get away with it.
When it was noontime, Luca was getting ready to head downstairs for lunch, but she received a call from Queenie.
Luca had this sneaking suspicion that the call had something to do with Enoch. Even so, she answered the call
anyway. After all, Queenie was her biological mother, and there was no way she could ignore her phone call.
After Luca answered the call, Queenie's gentle voice came from the other end of the call. "Luca, are you on your
lunch break now?"
"Yes, Mrs. Norman. It's lunch break now," replied Luca.
"That's great. I was feeling a little bored today, so I thought of asking you out for lunch. I'm at the Smokin' Hot
Steakhouse. Can you come over here?" Queenie did not make an appointment with her in advance this time. Luca
was smart enough and would probably know why she was asking her out.
Queenie was worried that Luca might turn her down, so she timed it perfectly before making the call.
Enoch, who was sitting opposite Queenie, was looking at her nervously, waiting for Luca's reply.
Before this, Enoch had told Queenie about his feelings for Luca. Queenie could not bear to turn him down. Thus,
Queenie promised to help him one more time. If Luca still rejected him, then there was nothing she could do
anymore. After all, love could not be forced.
Enoch thought he was going to succeed this time with Queenie's help. After all, he even got Luca a bouquet this
morning.
Women loved receiving gifts. Furthermore, it must have made her look good when she received such a big bouquet
of champagne-colored roses in front of her colleagues.
